I don't know about y'all, but thats how you throw a party!!!
The Friday night Pre-Game Warm Up BS Tournament was definately in a league of it's own. The Brazos River Crew (along with a few others) had set-up camp & had it goin' on when I caught up to them that evenin', but that's how they roll.
Several people brought camp trailers, a motor home & a couple of tents, to camp out of for the weekends events. The area we camped had plenty of room & shade, plus water & electricity. There were even a couple of port-a-potties brought in. It was almost like being at any other camp that you've been to on any river, except this was all private property. The best part was the private access to the river itself.
The fish fry will all the trimmin's, was most excellent, as that wasn't their first rodeo & 'em boys know how to do that. They probably had enough fish & fixin's to feed everyone 2 & 3 times over. If you left hungry then that's your fault.
The Brazos River Crew, the Red River Crew, the Cimmeron River Crew & the fellow from Idaho, are just some of the best folks around. It's funny how we are all really the same, just doin' it a little different depending on were you're from & what kind of water you primarially run. It's always great to get input from folks that are airboat & water knowledgible, plus the sense of community these folks all share is second to none.
The band was pretty good band, The Turnpike Trubador's, as the fiddle player was kickin' it out, the lead singer was good, the guitar player had skills, the bass player could walk the dog & the drumer was tight. They did a "country/punk " Johnny Cash cover that blew it up, along with some original stuff plus some American/Young Country/Texas stlye music along with a few standard country covers. The highlight of the bands last set was when the played Faded Love.
The bonus was all that free bootleg mexican beer... nuff sed about that.
